Are you on Telematics? Are you using the methods? As long as your doing it by the book then there is no problem. I've told my supervisor many times that there are two seats in my truck and its parked in the same spot every day. So he knows where to find me and he has a seat waiting for him if he so chooses. We recently went live on Telematics. (2/3 weeks) and though we were told about the saftey aspects being the most important but now they are looking at anyone who runs Paid Over to ride them. Some of the numbers they are looking to get are unreal for some routes. The District message this week for the managers is we have too many over 10's. Now anyone who is over 10 has to call the center to speak to the center manager to get approval for their over 10.
Screw that !!!
What is the center manager going to do when you call that you are over 10 !! Yell at you ! Threaten you ! Fire you !!
Its just a psychological attempt at making sure you are not screwing them. If they are worried about Over 10's, then they can adjust the stop count. They have it set up in my building where everyone is pretty much over 9.5, so when you return to the building, everyone is in line waiting to drive into building and wasting time and going over 10.
As long as you do the job correctly and do it the same everyday, there is nothing as a union employee that you should worry about. Plus, we have all had days where the stop count is lighter and we still are screwed out there. Let them adjust things, don't work faster (which means unsafe).
